Wouldn't work, the register map is a bit messy.
E.g.

#define DMA_PAGE_TABLE0_ADDR    ((const u16[8]){0x08, 0xD0, 0xD2, 0xD4, 0xD6, 
0xD8, 0xDA, 0xDC})
#define DMA_PAGE_TABLE1_ADDR    ((const u16[8]){0x09, 0xD1, 0xD3, 0xD5, 0xD7, 
0xD9, 0xDB, 0xDD})

also

#define VDREG8(a0) ((const u16[8]){                     \
        a0 + 0x000, a0 + 0x010, a0 +0x020, a0 + 0x030,  \
        a0 + 0x100, a0 + 0x110, a0 +0x120, a0 + 0x130})
#define VIDSTAT                 VDREG8(0x100)
#define BRIGHT                  VDREG8(0x101)
#define CONTRAST                VDREG8(0x102)

etc.

One would have to remember (writing .c code) which scheme applies to
which access. The tables, while probably less than optimal WRT CPU
cycles used, are consistent, and the addressing details are grouped in
one place - the *regs.h file.
